MR FX/Rubies Hybrid Saber

I've picked up some 1.5" pipe to make something like a Vader or Anakin AOTC design, but I'll probably make some more plastic parts too.

When they go down far enough in price, maybe all of us can get one, and then there'll be a good reason for doing runs of machined parts for them. Wouldn't that be FUN?
 
Are Rubies sabers oversized in width?

Yes. They're sized comparably to the electronic sabers from Hasbro (but not the "Force Action Lightsabers", which are ridiculously overized). These are the same ones that turn up in toy and costume shops around Halloween every year.

Curiously, Rubies issued a couple of close to correctly scaled sabers (Obi Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn) after the release of TPM, but eventually replaced them with the oversized versions that are re-released every year. The collapsible blades in the big ones are longer, sure, but they look horrible.

Ah, cool. Thanks, for the info! :)
